The Westminster Dog Show is a favorite NYC event. Hundreds of dog owners and all types of breeds compete for the title of Best of the Breed.
The Westminster Dog Show offers several categories in agility training. Owners of show dogs often spend thousands of dollars on training and grooming. This show offers visitors the chance to meet breeds of dogs they may have never seen before.
The Westminster Dog Show will take place on
February 11 and 12th at Madison Square Garden and Piers 92/94.
The Westminster Dog Show was first held on May 7, 1877, making it over 140 years old! Make sure you stop by this not-to-be-missed NYC tradition!
The last seltzer company in New York City is offering a tour of their factory this week.
The Brooklyn Seltzer Boys, a fourth-generation family-owned business in Canarsie, Brooklyn, has been hand-filling seltzer bottles and delivering them to customers for over fifty years. Their carbonated water is reputed to be much tastier than the store-bought version.
A tour of the seltzer factory will include an overview of the seltzer
industry, a closer look at the seltzer bottle refilling process and a seltzer
taste test.
Afterwards, Brooklyn Seltzer Boys will make some of their award-winning
egg creams, which combine milk, chocolate syrup and their famous seltzer!
If you love dogs and you live in (or are visiting) New York City, this is the perfect spot. The American Kennel Club Museum of the Dog is opening in February, or actually reopening. The museum was founded in 1982 but closed down for a number of years. The museum is devoted to the “aesthetic enjoyment” of everything canine.
The new museum will be at 101 Park Avenue in New York City and will have exhibits and a library. In the library, people can research dog breeds and check up interesting facts about their own pooch.
As Alan Fausel, Executive Director of the AKC Museum of the Dog, said “It is exciting to bring this collection back to New York City. This Museum is a beautiful ode to man’s best friend and we are thrilled to bring these pieces and exhibitions to new audiences.”
